    Well actually according to feedburner, my rss feed cannot be validated. If you look at

    http://www.tourgolfblog.com/feed You get no feed and an error message.

    When I try to set up a feedburner feed for the same url, and i try to validate it i get this crap.

    I have no idea where to look or what to change to get a validation by feedburner. Any ideas on this?

    Yeah, that's weird. Now when I try to get my feed into feedburner, I get this message

    And I have no idea where to fix it.

    Why would this make it so I can't set up my site with feedburner....If my feed is working correctly, what's their issue?

    Referring to your screenshot, did you miss a closing "<" with your content:encoded tag? That might cause the parsers to overrun assuming some can't auto-correct this.

    Yeah I see that on there...it didn't come up as an error. Where would I go to find this log and correct it? I'm an RSS idiot. Thanks.

    Incomplete tags are one of the most common problems I've mentioned in another XML thread somewhere in this forum.

    I haven't had much time to look into wordpress. You seem to have generated it using 2.6.2, I think that's a good place to start looking. Is this a known bug (is there a forum somewhere that focuses on wordpress rss)? It appears the tag isn't complete, causing the elements that follow to be misunderstood by the parser. Either that, or the ending tag definition for content:encoded is missing a "<". Did you apply any modifications, etc to the default modules?

    If you're trying to workaround this in a hurry for some reason, I can configure our proxy to lint and clean up your rss so it becomes valid before you pipe it to feedburner.

    Hope this helps ya.
